Step by Step Guide: Cait Sith Vs The Abominable [No Gotterdammerung] - Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

[@radicaldreamer927]

ATTENTION ALL: This build only works if you are good at precision blocking _every single one_ of the fast moving purple orbs and dodging Eldritch Horror when it happens. If you can't do that, you NEED Chakra. Just swap out the poison and petrify materia for that. Otherwise, it's simply not possible.

[@akhafasu]

Thanks for the advice

[@Streifen1911]

Damn! I’m trying to get better at blocking but I’m really not good at it. Even the scorpion beats the hell outta me most time. This is a good build I know I just gotta practice but I’ll try this too.

[@akhafasu]

@@Streifen1911 all the best. Do let me know if you need any help

[@Streifen1911]

@@akhafasu i got the Squid boss’s health half way down whenever I posted the original comment but that big ass rock he threw at me killed me. It’s doable I just gotta practice a bit. I’m still young but getting older so I definitely don’t game for as long as I used to. I try one task on the VR thing a few times a day each day. I blew thru the other single challenges pretty much I’m just terrible with Aerith and Cait.

Very helpful, thanks so much. Been trying this fight for a week with a bunch of different builds. This one, and the solid explanation, are what finally worked.

[@akhafasu]

You’re welcome. Glad to know I was able to help you out :)

[@SpartacusxPrime]

Thanks, after using someone elses and your guide, and thanks to the person in the comments who said use the stedfast earrings really helped! I think this was the most gruelling one yet!!😅

[@akhafasu]

Happy to help. And congrats on the win

[@dachamp21]

I had to combine multiple guides. The first 4 are simple enough. If you gang up on the mindflayer you can keep him to a regular pattern. I had to make sure the moogle in was in good health but I used physical attacks and used ice when I had atp

[@akhafasu]

Good to know. What matters is you got this done :)

[@nicholasvassey9799]

THANK YOU MY FRIEND! THIS CHALLENGE SUCKED! But I just beat it with help from your guide and thanks again!

[@akhafasu]

You’re very welcome :)

[@eduardomamede9779]

If you’re struggling as I did in the last battle, my extra tip is to use slow and any chance you have Muggle Mine, it helps A LOT getting him staggered faster! Ps: Thanks sooo much for your tutorials! You are an angel and did amazing using a Chrono Cross in one of them! ❤

[@akhafasu]

You’re very welcome :)

[@justnateclips7521]

Had to master that movement and style of Cait Sith, word of advice yall, this method works super well, when you get to the round 5, Mindflayer should mainly focus on your Moogle so you can cast Bioga (if you didn’t switch it to Chakra) and warning, you can run out of MP but if you follow this guide line by line, it shouldn't be too bad. 💯✌🏾

[@akhafasu]

Thank you for your comment :)

[@axhxobaxhxob9328]

Oh wow this fight was a doozy. I think it took over 10 tries to finally beat the Mindflayer. In the end I had to change up the setup a bit: instead of Magic Focus & Poison+Petrify, I put in Precision Defense & Chakra. Blocking those 5 consecutive magic balls is ESSENTIAL. And I switched HP Absorb & Ice for Elemental & Lighting (so when Mindflayer does that lighting grid attack I can just stand there and get healed and attack). Also instead of Genji Gloves I put in Chocoking's Cape, for essentially 3 ATBs right of the bat with ATB Boost. Thanks to @akhafasu for all the great guides, couldn't possibly imagine doing all these challenges without them!

[@akhafasu]

@@axhxobaxhxob9328 congrats on the win!

[@alvaroqr08]

Thanks for the guide!! This was such a bullsh*t trial haha. I ended up using SteadFast Block Materia Earrings since I could "easily" beat the first 4 rounds without the need of dealing over 9999 at once. That also helped me get ATB by blocking the Mindflyer projectiles!

[@akhafasu]

Nice. I like your strategy

[@bransonwest01]

So for me, dumping bio and adding enemy skill saved me! Immediately get off plasma discharge on mind flyer and you’ll get bonus damage the whole fight. Late summon Gilgamesh and get off as many blizzagas as possible. Fairly easy. This was after 2 hours trying other methods.

[@akhafasu]

@@bransonwest01 awesome strat. Congrats on the win

[@dustinhb]

Toughest one yet! Blocking the purple orb chain from mindflayer is definitely the move. Don’t mess up like me and waste MP on extra Bioga. At the end of the fight I had no mana and Greg saved the day 🙌

[@akhafasu]

@@dustinhb I hate that move. And if the Bioga misses as he teleports… it gets terrible

[@dustinhb]

@@akhafasu he teleported right as Gilgamesh winded up his 2ATB move 🤦‍♂️

[@kyletan2840]

I never thought this cat would be this useless until this fight. The last fight was the most annoying across all solo battle. Thanks to your guide I finally beat this challenge with alot of luck and I would never play this challenge again!

@@kyletan2840 congrats on the win :)

[@Zackreffil2]

This was really helpful, this was really hard 70 rounds to finish ti

[@akhafasu]

Thank you

[@MewI0I]

How necessary are the Genji Gloves for this setup? Going through the video, unless I missed something, the only time more than 9999 damage was done was against the Gi warriors in round 2, who are still easily wiped out without the extra damage. If so, maybe a different accessory would suit this build better, (my mind jumps to the Malboro Orb to extend the length of Stop to get more damage in while they're staggered) Def gonna be trying this build out though. Having no luck against the Mindflayer so far. Maybe this can bring me to victory

[@akhafasu]

Yes, you can change the accessory to your liking. I used it just to be done with round two. Because sometime the Gi will give you a very hard time if they are not killed quickly. They’ve got some brutal attacks. So equip whatever suits you :)

[@flaminskulls7371]

This one worked for me but I just couldn’t dodge Eldritch Horror and it never got aimed to my Moogle If anyone else is struggling with this and has Gotterdammerung, equip it and save your limit until he uses it so you can become immune from it, I ended up having to do two limits but I finally beat it in the end 👍

[@akhafasu]

@@flaminskulls7371 thanks for the comment :)

[@Zabikin11]

I did it by blending your strategy together with another guide I saw

[@Zabikin11]

Barely though cause Mindflayer is pure bullshit

[@akhafasu]

@@Zabikin11 you did it and that’s what matters. Congrats

[@JhakceMorgan]

Mindflayer was an ass, mostly because I suck at blocking, but I eked out a win with one HP and zero MP!

Can you even dodge or survive eldtrich horror? He’s never not targeted me, he never shoots it at the moogle, has ended my run several times already

[@samtengfungtse]

Using limit break avoids it. He shot it at me 3 times on the run I completed it I used limit break toy box all 3 times to avoid it. You could try casting manawall.

[@akhafasu]

Wait a second and then dodge with circle. Worked for me

[@carloservadei]

I hate the mindflyer. But I won't give up

[@akhafasu]

That’s the spirit!

[@radicaldreamer927]

Your build and strategy is not helping me against the Mindflayer. He teleports way too close to me and uses Astral Apprehension, and I can't get away fast enough. This is incredibly frustrating, I am this close to just putting Elemental and Lightning in my goddam armor. EDIT: Yeah, if you're not good at avoiding Eldritch Horror or blocking the fast moving purple orbs, this fight is impossible without Chakra. I had to use that in order to win.

[@akhafasu]

Not sure what the issue is, but you can keep running and his Astral Apprehension won’t connect. Don’t stand at a place and attack when you see him disappear

I did not enjoy this one at all. I ended up needing Gilgamesh to strike the final blow for me, relying on my parry skills to keep me alive long enough for him to do so. The purple orbs are three hits. If you're familiar with music, it's a triplet. Tri-pl-et. Or say, pineapple. Pie-na-pull.

Minelayer is so hard. Failed 4 times so far on him :( need chakra for HP I think.

You need to block. If you have a Gotterdammurung you can use it for a limit break
